The maker of digital music players is selling its smartphone on the domestic market for less than $150, mainly targeting businessmen who want a second phone and cost-conscious consumers such as visiting students. A spokesman said the company is considering launching the phone overseas after “good response” in the Korean market.

The ULALA has a 3.5-inch screen and a slot for a second SIM card. It also supports analog radio transmission, allowing users to listen to radio programs without having to connect to the internet.
